The Reality of Board Seats
Paid board seats don't go to the most qualified — they go to the best positioned.
Most professionals have no strategy for getting on a board — and no one teaches this.
The difference between a $0 advisory role and a $50K+ paid seat is positioning, not pedigree.
This webinar gives you the playbook.

Jahn Karsybaev

Managing Partner, Big Sky Capital

Jahn currently serves on 5 active boards across technology, finance, and consumer sectors. As Managing Partner at Big Sky Capital, he has spent over a decade advising founders and executives on capital strategy and governance.

A Harvard Business School alum, Jahn has a direct, no-theory approach to board positioning — built from real seats, real conversations, and real results.

“The path to a paid board seat is shorter than most people think. It just requires the right positioning — and most people skip this step entirely.”
